Is Couponing really Worth it? We'll See.

So lately I've been wanting to learn the ropes on "couponing". At first I thought, these ladies are crazy. I mean sure, your getting a good deal on a bunch of crap that you probably won't use, AND it is going to take up more space that you don't have in your house just to store all that crap. On top of it all, you have to subscribe to at least one paper every week, spend Sundays clipping coupons, and then grocery shop at least twice a week to get those deals on "Stuff". Ok having said that, I've also noticed that there are great deals to be had. Getting things for practically free, and its a good way to create a food storage. I've been so curious on how it all works. My friend Megan invited me to do a little shopping with her to show me the "magic". We started at Albertsons then went to Winco. Here is a picture of all the things I got...things I'll totally use! I spent around $10, and $6 of it was the peanut butter (which wasn't the deal we were shooting for). Anyhow today I subscribed to the paper...now the learning process begins. Good luck to me. I figure, I don't have to buy "crap", just stuff I'll use, so why not, especially if its free.
